Be carefull with that! The svn:externals _can_ be committed with the
main project, as long as the externals reside inside the same repository
database as the main project!
I have disabled that in the RC1 release already, but it is still
(partly) working in the 1.0.x releases (for non-recursive commits).

Try
svn:externals
svn://mars-buildmach/MarsSubVersion/Branches/Amir/mars/A%20A/Test%20Control

the URL must be properly encoded. Otherwise, it won't work at all.
